Another paper from the controversial PURE study.
New study below. "Reducing saturated fatty acid intake and replacing it with carbohydrate has an adverse effect on blood lipids. Substituting saturated fatty acids with unsaturated fats might improve some risk markers, but might worsen others." Because of my PCa research, my primary concern is with triglycerides

High cholesterol
I was on statins for years as I had a bad family history. Came off then in may and just had my blood checked. My cholesterol was 6 and hdl was 1.3. I'm post menopausal. My blood pressure is normal. My Gp said this result was ok. Should I be starting back the statins?

Initial test results
I've finally managed to get hold of my initial test results that I had taken when I was diagnosed underactive. Please can someone take a look and tell me what you think. I don't think a lot of things were tested but I can ask for those in future. Serum Ferritin 8.8ug/l (10.0-291.0) Haemoglobin

Travel Insurance irritation
The issue is most of the longterm impacts of my condition are managed by medication, I now have low blood pressure, low

management
and vascular dilation medication, so the risk is lower not higher. I now use Freedom Insurance which offers expensive but reasonable cover.

"Drug Aimed at Inflammation May Lower Risk of Heart Disease and Cancer"
That's the title of a piece in today's NY Times [1]. It must be a dozen years since someone told me that the men who have better survival are those with good albumin levels. Those with <4.0 don't do well. Since diagnosis, I use a lot of polyphenols, which inhibit NFkB. NFkB is chronically activated

Extreme Diets.
I define an extreme diet as one that flirts with deficiency of one or more essential nutrients. Sure, one can always take a pill to counter deficiency, but that would detract from the idea of an ideal diet meeting all of the needs of the body. Is there a place for an extreme diet when cancer is present

Good cholesterol May Not Be as Good as we think....
It has long been thought that a high level of "good" cholesterol in the blood, also known as HDL, is better for health. However, new European research is challenging this belief, suggesting that those with extremely high levels of good cholesterol have a higher mortality rate than people with normal
